Default Toilet supply line ruptured

I'll admit, I don't remember hearing of another toilet supply
line rupturing.


About 20 years ago, woke up to the sound of running water in the the
middle of the night. Asked the wife why she was taking a shower at
2:30? Realized she was still in bed - why was the water running? Ran
to the bathroom, saw water spraying under the toilet, shut it off. The
supply line was just fine, it was the cheap plastic nut attaching the
supply line to the bottom of the tank - split very cleanly between the
round part and the hex part. Luckily, this was a single story home on
slab, got it shut off right away, only problem was a little bit of wet
carpet at the entry to the bathroom.

For the last 20 years, I've been wondering when the next one is gonna
break.
